This week, Jenn sits down with the stunningly skilled Heidi Jung. Heidi is a contemporary American painter known for her large-scale painted depictions of botanical imagery. Jung has been noted with originating a new and challenging method of painting with Sumi ink and charcoal on Mylar on panel.
Jung attended Metro State University in Denver and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in Drawing. Notable exhibitions include a solo show at the Arvada Center for Arts and Humanities, as well as an invitation and solo show at the Denver Botanic Gardens. Influences include Robert Motherwell, Franz Klein, and Jim Dine. Her arresting and recognizable images of stark, black-and-white, specimen forms have been shown in galleries and collections nationwide.
In her latest series, Portraits of my Children, her subjects come from plants, trees, and flowers grown at her studio and garden in Denver, Colorado.
